Suzi Hileman, a former resident of Tiburon who is Jewish, was one of 14 people injured in the shooting spree. Now a resident of Tucson, Hileman used to be a board member of the Reed Union School District board in Tiburon, the Marin Independent Journal reported.
Hileman was the person who brought 9-year-old Christina Taylor Green, her neighbor, to the “Congress on Your Corner” event because of the girl’s interest in politics, the Associated Press reported. Hileman was holding hands with the girl, waiting to shake Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ hand, when shots were fired, said Bill Hileman, Suzi’s husband.
Hileman was shot three times, but is expected to survive. — ap
